The 2023 Women's Ashes series (officially the Metro Bank Women's Ashes Series for sponsorship reasons)[1] was a cricket series which took place in England in June and July 2023 as the 2023 edition of the Women's Ashes.[2] For the series, England and Australia faced each other in one Test, three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[3] The ODI series formed part of the 2022–2025 ICC Women's Championship tournament.[4] A points-based system was used across all three formats of the tour to determine the winner of the Ashes series.[5] The Test match at Trent Bridge was the first ever women's Test in England and second overall to be scheduled for five days of play.[6] [7] Australia were the defending champions, having won the 2021–22 Women's Ashes series 12–4.[8] [9]
Australia won the only Test match by 89 runs.[10] It was the first women's Test match to not end in a draw since 2015, breaking a streak of six consecutive drawn Tests.[11] Australia also won the first T20I by four wickets, which meant that England needed to win all five of the remaining matches in the series in order to regain the Ashes.[12] England won the second and third matches to claim the T20I leg of the series 2–1.[13] [14] This was the first T20I series defeat for Australia since the 2017–18 Ashes series.[15] England levelled the Ashes points tally by winning the first ODI by two wickets.[16] Australia won the second ODI by just three runs to retain the Ashes, despite an unbeaten century by Nat Sciver-Brunt.[17] Sciver-Brunt scored a second consecutive century in the third ODI, which England won by 69 runs.[18] England won the ODI series 2–1, inflicting Australia's first ODI series defeat since 2013.[19]
The Ashes series ended as a draw, with both teams earning eight points.[20]
On 20 June 2023, both Alice Capsey and Alice Davidson-Richards were removed from England's Test squad to enable them to play for England A.[29]
